Deadlight was a strange beast for me.
I really enjoyed the game at first, but man was I ready to just be done with it.
It has the glimmer of a fantastic game about it marred by some odd design choices.

It's too dark.
There are many times when you're surrounded by zombies but it's so dark that it's impossible to tell which dark silhouette is yours and which ones are zombies. This is made even more complicated when there are zombies shambling from the background into the foreground but you can't even interact with them until they get in the foreground.

When you discover things the items or text pop up over the playing field and literally obscure the game. What's bizarre is sometimes they jump from the extreme left or right of the screen where they're just an annoyance to directly over your character so you can't see what you're doing.

The cut scenes are poorly drawn and don't reflect the game engine at all.
Not only that, but they don't match the narrative of the game.
You'll have three zombies ten paces behind you in the game but then a cut scene appears and there are dozens of zombies all around you.

But my biggest gripe of the game is that the game's character, Randall Wayne, literally never shuts up. He comments on things around him, he vocalizes solutions to puzzles, he just talks, talks, talks.

Still, it's pretty entertaining. There's some neat references to things in the 80s, but I really temper my earlier recommendation.
